US Judicial System – Constitution, Courts, And Cases Practice Test

Which body confirms federal judges?

The President The Senate The House The Supreme Court

Correct Answer:

The Senate

Explanation:

The main idea here is how presidential appointments are checked by Congress. The President can nominate federal judges, including Supreme Court justices, but the Constitution gives the Senate the power to confirm those nominees through its advice and consent role. The Senate conducts hearings, questions the nominee, and votes to confirm or reject. A successful confirmation allows the person to hold the judgeship; without Senate approval, the nomination cannot become reality. The House has no role in this confirmation process, and the body being filled—the judiciary—receives the appointment after Senate approval.
